“Tahiana was absolutely wonderful looking after our dog, Socks, while we were in Cambridge for the weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring and lovely she is. She kept us updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to relax knowing Socks was in such good hands. She really took the time to get to know Socks and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was obvious from all the updates that he was having a fantastic time—and when we got back, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had formed a lovely bond with her. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you so much again, for taking such amazing care of Socks!”
“Maddie was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Greta to communicate with and brilliant at following instructions and looking after the house. Dora had a wonderful time with her and we will definitely be booking her again soon!”
“Our Puppy Dexter had a lovely time with Ellen today. She is a very friendly and thoughtful person. We hope to use her services in the near future. We came home after getting married and Dexter was so calm, resting in his bed. Thank you so much! We highly recommend Ellens services. 🙏”
“Larissa spent the day with Rupert today and we couldn't have been more relaxed. Her frequent updates and care for him made it easy. Rupert looked really relaxed too! We will definitely use Larissa again when we need dog sitting again. Thanks, Larissa!! ❤️”
“Jasmine was a great communicator, punctual and very warm and friendly. My dog liked her immediately and it took her all of two seconds to curl up and fall asleep next to her! Got some lovely pics throughout the day, per my request, which was a great reassurance that Juno was happy and being well locked after.”
“Kleo provided exceptional care for our dog Jellybean. It was our first time leaving JB with a sitter since rescuing her just a few months ago so, naturally, I was a little nervous. But Kleo came to meet JB twice before we left for our trip, which really helped. She was super communicative the whole time (1 week), sending us photo and video updates and checking in with any questions about JB’s routine. Kleo also took great care of our house. We would 100% leave JB with Kleo again, and would highly recommend her for pet and house sitting!”
“This was the second time Francesca looked after our puppy and she has built up a really nice rapport with Olive- lots of nice photos of them going for walks and Olive was so calm around her. Highly recommended!”
“Maisie did a great job watching our dog Rocky again. Our kids loved seeing the pictures she shared while we were away. We feel totally safe with Maisie taking care of Rocky and our house.”
“Yi-Hao was the absolute dreamiest person to look after griff whilst I was in Cambridge for a gig. Griffy was so happy to hang. Went above and beyond and left our Airbnb in better state than we left it. Would highly recommend !!!”
About: I’m a PhD student at the Uni, proudly owned by a 6-year-old cat. I’d love to offer cat-sitting help in a thoughtful, gentle, and endlessly patient way. I truly believe good communication between cat owners and sitters is essential—because our fluffy family members deserve nothing less than royal-level service. Let’s team up to keep your little furball happy!
“Berkant was absolutely phenomenal taking care of J while we were out of town. Before the booking, he came by to introduce himself and took J on a walk, then returned the day before to go over J’s routine and take him on a longer walk. During the stay, he visited four times a day and walked J for 30 minutes to an hour each time. He sent photos, videos, and updates after every visit, which gave us complete peace of mind. I cannot recommend Berkant enough and will definitely be booking with him again.”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Indre! She watched Millie and Ellie for the first time this past weekend, and wow — she was absolutely wonderful. From the beginning, she genuinely cared about the girls and made me feel completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout the weekend, sent lots of pictures, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure they were happy and comfortable. She even took them on extra walks without me asking and stayed longer so they wouldn’t have to spend as much time alone. It was so clear that Indre wasn’t just “watching” them — she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. That means everything to me. Millie and Ellie were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved having her around. I would absolutely recommend Indre to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, caring, and willing to go above and beyond. We will definitely be booking her again! ❤️🐾”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them has come naturally ever since I was a child. I've been lucky enough to spend time with all sorts of breeds and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. I've cared for everything from a rescue St Bernard to Labradors and Golden Retrievers, so I'm comfortable with larger breeds as well as energetic dogs who love long walks and plenty of play. I've also looked after a variety of other pets for family and friends over the years, which has taught me that every animal has its own routine, and little quirks. . I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'd care for your dog the same way I'd want someone to care for my own - with kindness, and lots of attention, and plenty of updates so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work full-time, but I have a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to be home during the week and dedicate quality time to the pets I'm caring for. My mornings, evenings, and weekends can all be centred around making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I currently offer dog walking, toilet breaks, and drop-in visits in your home, where your pet can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable in. I always take the time to get to know each pet and stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. I'll make sure they're well looked after while you're away. I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I know how important trust is when inviting someone into your home, so I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can see how your pet is getting on and have peace of mind.
About: Hello! I’m Declan, a Vet currently completing further specialised training at Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital. I live 2 minutes from the hospital itself. I have been a registered vet for three years and am happy to help look after your animal, especially if they need additional needs such as medications / injections. I currently work full time but am able to come home at lunch / when needed for treatments. Weekends I am able to accommodate based on provisional bookings. Not all weekends are possible due to my job :) I have a fenced garden and no animals living with me. Any cats would be strictly indoors only. All doors and windows are kept locked during the day. Any further questions or concerns do let me know! Happy to chat
“Olivia is an absolute delight! She took such wonder care of my sweet boy. She clearly is very experienced with pets of all kinds! Getting to know her has been such a pleasure. I cannot recommend Olivia enough!!!”

We had such a positive experience and would absolutely recommend giselle and john. Beannie was clearly very happy and comfortable in their company and received lots of love, attention and lovely walks while we were away. We really appreciated the regular updates and always felt that we knew how she was getting on. Giselle was incredibly communicative, responsible and considerate throughout, and we really appreciated their honesty and how thoughtfully they cared for Beannie. It was very reassuring knowing she was with people who genuinely cared about her. They were also so respectful of our home and left everything exceptionally clean and tidy. They’re genuinely lovely, friendly and interesting people, and Beannie clearly really enjoyed having them around. We would absolutely be happy to have them look after her again!
Abbie was a lovely carer for our two dogs and kept our home neat as a pin. She took the girls on adventures every day and had snuggles, sending us daily updates with photos and letting us know all the news. We would highly recommend her as a responsible and kind dog sitter. Two paws up!! ❤️🐶🐶
Indrė looked after my German Shepherd x collie Rocky for 2 nights and did an absolutely incredible job. Her communication is excellent and she stuck to the schedule and routine provided really thoroughly which is exactly what he needs; I felt really confident that Rocky was in good hands and came home to a happy dog! Indrė is extremely trustworthy and lovely and I will definitely be asking her to come back!
Jasmine was a great communicator, punctual and very warm and friendly. My dog liked her immediately and it took her all of two seconds to curl up and fall asleep next to her! Got some lovely pics throughout the day, per my request, which was a great reassurance that Juno was happy and being well locked after.
Francesca took excellent care of Pixie, including multiple walks, lots of attention and tons of cuddles. We had regular updates and fun pics sent our way throughout the day. So cute! Francesca was a very respectful and considerate house sitter, too, and we will definitely be booking with her in the future.
A really successful house sit! Once again our lively cockapoo had a wonderful time with Ralf. We felt reassured by regular photos, videos and updates, and by how relaxed and happy our dog was when we came home. Ralf looked after our home and my plants too. Will definitely book again.
We really appreciated Sophia sitting for our two boys when we stayed in Cambridge. Without her, my wife and I wouldn't have been able to attend our son's graduation together. Sophia was very flexible, as when we initially booked we did not know the exact times, and needed to change slightly. She was very friendly and punctual, and we recommend her as a sitter.
We had Ellen come watch our dog while we were away on a short trip. She stopped by several times a day and made sure Arwen got walked, had food and water. And always left her with a treat toy. Ellen was great about sending pictures and updates, and left the house clean before we came back. We would definitely book Ellen again for short stays.
Lucia, set with my dog and two cats and I loved that she shared updates frequently, was clear and open in her communication, asked if anything was not clear from my side. She took great care of my pets and my house that was left in great condition. Thanks a lot, Lucia
Nick took care of my two dogs, whilst I was away, competently and responsibly. He accommodated the extra care required for my Epileptic dog and both dogs were settled and happy without me !. I am grateful for the care and consideration Nick took and would definitely recommend him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cambridge on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,184 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cambridge. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Cambridge walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cambridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
